| Rob Van Dam (Wrestling) | comment |
Rob Van Dam (real name: Robert Szatkowski, born December 18, 1970) is a professional wrestler who currently works for All Elite Wrestling. He became famous for his stints in ECW and WWE, and also had successful runs in TNA/Impact. One of RVD's most famous accomplishments in ECW was that he held the ECW World Television Championship for 700 consecutive days, the longest reign of any ECW title holder, and made the title as important as the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.As you might have guessed, he has an uncanny resemblance to Jean-Claude Van Damme. Super uncanny, hyper flexible guys known more for their cool stunts than acting ability and have had drug problems that have harmed both of their careers. He was given the name by wrestler Ron Slinker. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Rob Van Dam (Wrestling) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: His "feud" with unmasked Kane was basically Kane beating Rob Van Dam. The only match Rob won was a steel cage match where he "escaped" by being thrown through the wall by Kane. He was also used to set up Alberto Del Rio for John Cena by having Del Rio injure Rob Van Dam. | |

Slipknot Ponytail: A notable aversion. His hair almost never gets messed up during a match. Compare this (especially considering his style) to wrestlers such as Scott Hall or Shawn Michaels. It did happen during his match with Chris Benoit at Summerslam 2002. It's the only time the general public has seen his hair down. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Somewhat invoked in real life, as Rob is credited with inventing the Van Dam Lift, a weightlifting technique where the lifter does a split between two benches and lifts a dumbbell from the ground up to the waist. While not a normal means of exercise in a gym or weight room, it is not only effective, but kinda awesome when you think about who came up with it. | |

Contortionist: You almost have to be to even attempt to use the Van Dam press he invented (lifting a dumbbell while doing a split between two benches). One of his quirks as a wrestler is being able to counter virtually anything that does not have him in a seated position with a kick, and sometimes not even sitting him down can stop Van Dam from kicking you. | |

Spot Monkey | |
| Rob Van Dam (Wrestling) / int_94231f1a | comment |
Spot Monkey: Except spot monkey is a too small and insulting term for it. Rob Van Dam does sell the Five-Star Frog Splash after hitting it and does have good wrestling psychology. Where his story telling tends to fall short is in the rest of the angle beyond the match. His feuds with La Resistance, Unmasked Kane and Evolution highlighted how much more everyone else wrestled according to the on going events compared to RVD, who generally went at about the same intensity level and whatnot no matter what. One exception was his intercontinental championship victory on Monday Night Raw over Christian. Taken on its own, Rob Van Dam doing the five star frog splash onto Christian draped over a ladder might seem like a pointless spot, but in context, Christian had assaulted and given a frog splash to RVD with Johnathan Coachman calling it "better than any frog splash Rob Van Dam ever did!", so he had something to prove and satisfyingly concluded the angle in doing it. | |

Finishing Move | |
| Rob Van Dam (Wrestling) / int_a43a691b | comment |
Finishing Move: The Five-Star Frog Splash was the main one, but he also had the Van Daminator (jumping spinning back kick to an opponent holding a chair) and the Van Terminator (a "coast-to-coast"note from one corner to an adjacent corner drop kick into a downed opponent with a steel chair over their face). When teaming with Rey Mysterio Jr., one of their finishers was the "4:20", which involved Van Dam lifting Mysterio up and dropping him while simultaneously dropping himself into a seated position. The rolling thunder becomes a finishing move when combined with a legdrop from Sabu. | |

It's All About Me | |
| Rob Van Dam (Wrestling) / int_bb18a227 | comment |
It's All About Me: His ECW character. So narcissistic that his wrestling style is 50% showboating after he does anything successfully. He has been known to hurt himself from excessive showboating too, though he usually wins the match anyway. | |

Every Year They Fizzle Out: Joey Styles called him the greatest competitor to never win a world championship. Rob Van Dam would eventually win one from John Cena. | |

Cool Teacher: For a guest spot on Hulk Hogan's celebrity wrestling. Rob Van Dam really challenged the rookies to step up their performances in the ring, including telling Butterbean to lift his guys higher when doing his finishing move, but he was very friendly about it. He also taught kickboxing on Who Wants to Be a Superhero?. | |

Character Catchphrase | |
| Rob Van Dam (Wrestling) / int_d308cbb0 | comment |
Character Catchphrase: "Nobody gets higher than ROB! VAN! DAM!" And considering RVD's hobby, that's clearly meant to be taken in regards to what he does in the ring and out. | |

Big Damn Heroes: On one episode of Raw, Kane was (and we aren't making this up) shocking Shane McMahon in the testicles. RVD showed up and finally stopped Kane after he shocked Shane twice by hitting Kane with a chair. | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |
| Rob Van Dam (Wrestling) / int_f0089082 | comment |
Early-Bird Cameo: His first appearance on a televised wrestling show was as a kid in 1987 doing one of Ted DiBiase's challenges. Though with ECW for much of the 90s, he previously wrestled in WCW in 1993 and was in WWF for a brief time in 1997 (in the latter case, he was on loan from ECW and referenced the company on air. His friendships made in the WWF at this time gave him an immediate push at the time of the Invasion). | |
